Pink Ribbon Run

Cedar Falls Community Main Street is preparing for it’s 8th Annual Pink Ribbon Run on Saturday, October 4, 2014. As usual we will have great door prizes, awards and Panera Bagels at race end. But the Pink Ribbon Run committee has added a few new traditions in the past years. We honor our breast cancer survivors with strands of beads to represent the number of years they have lived with breast cancer. We also think it is important for our survivors to come together. So we set aside a time for survivors to help in the painting of a flag to carry to the race start. We hope to add a few new things too!

The Pink Ribbon Run registrants will find new options available to them when they register this year. The committee is hoping to encourage the community to form teams to show their support of breast cancer and the work of the Beyond Pink TEAM. Any team that signs up will be given a reserved gathering location for pre & post race festivities (weather permitting) in front of the Cedar Falls Community Center.

Keepsake Trail Marker

This year there will also be the option of ordering a“Keepsake Trail Marker”. You do not have to register for the race in order to purchase a trail marker. These yard signs are $30 and can be personalized with the name of someone you would like to honor or remember. Those who order a trail sign will have the option of keeping the sign or donating it to be placed on the course from year to year. You have the option of ordering a trail marker sign when you do the online registration. However, if you are doing the paper form, please call the Community Main Street office to get your Trail Marker sign ordered. Their number is 319-277-0213.

Want to donate, but can’t come to our event? Want to be a sponsor? Call the Community Main Street office at 319-277-0213. We hope you will tell your friends and family to participate in next year’s event. We want to keep breaking records each year! We hope to see you there!
